Demand for functional materials targeted for specific applications is ever increasing as societal needs and demands mount with advancing technology. One class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has burgeoned in recent years due, in part, to effective design strategies (i.e. reticular chemistry) for their synthesis and their inherent [and readily interchangeable] hybrid, highly functional character. Metal-organic materials, specifically metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have emerged as a unique class of materials amenable to design and manipulation for desired function and application. Several design strategies have been utilized and developed to target viable MOF platforms, from the single-metal-ion molecular building block (MBB) approach to the hierarchical supermolecular building block and supermolecular building layer approaches (SBB and SBL, respectively). This inherent built-in information allows access to highly stabile and made-to-order porous materials toward applications pertaining to energy and environmental sustainability. Specifically, materials for CO<sub>2</sub> separation and capture will be highlighted, as well as insights into MOF membrane construction and respective gas separation properties.<br/> <br/>
